Sterilization of Library’s Digital Equipment with the New UV-C Chamber
May 17, 2021
Are you worried about the hygiene of the notebook computers or tablets when you borrow them from the Library self-service kiosks? Here is the good news! Library users are now welcome to use our new UV-C Disinfection Chamber near the Digital Visualisation Room at 4/F North Wing to sterilize Library’s digital equipment, i.e. laptops, tablets, VR devices, electronic IoTs, headphones and other AV equipment.
The UV-C lights in the chamber can disinfect objects, and kill COVID-19 and other viruses. Recommended disinfection time varies depending on the size of the object. For example, 5-10 minutes for laptops and tablets, and 3 minutes for electronic IoTs, VR devices, headphones and other AV equipment. The disinfection process will stop immediately when the chamber door is opened.
